Salt the rim (optional). Run a lime wedge (the juicy part) around the top rim of your serving glass. Fill a shallow bowl or plate with salt, then dip the rim until it is covered with your desired amount of salt. Set aside.

Step 2

Make the margarita mix. Add tequila, Aperol, lime juice and a few ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Cover and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.

Step 3

Serve. Fill the prepared serving glass with ice. Strain in the margarita mix, garnish with an orange or lime slice, serve and enjoy. Cheers!

Chef’s notes

Try using a Tajín salt rim for extra flavor.

Muddle in fresh jalapeño wedges for a spicy kick.

Use mezcal in place of tequila for a smoky flavor.

Add simple syrup or agave nectar to sweeten the cocktail.

Add ginger simple syrup or ginger beer for a ginger flavor.

The Aperol lowers the cocktail's ABV to around 22%.
